Response to A Possible Compatibilist Argument

I think that there can be free will and determinism and that the two can coexist.  I think it just works in a way that determinism works on a larger scale.  For example, Point A is a fixed point that is determined.  You will get to Point A.  However, the way that you get to Point A depends on you and the choices that you make.  I don't think that means that free will isn't really real or just an illusion.  Or, if it is an illusion, I don't think that it really matters.  Whether free will and determinism are compatible or only one or the other is the Truth, I think as humans we're still going to do what we're going to do.  We're kind of stubborn that way.
